Mele’s Picks

*People are constantly asking me what types of ‘ukuleles and accessories should they purchase. Until I can find a better site to explore get my own ‘ukulele to sell, then I will be using this platform. If you know of a better one to support a small business, please contact me. For now, if you want to invest in a small business, feel free to purchase a Kamaka, which is found below.

Everything listed is under $200, here are some picks for you - both starter ‘ukuleles and accessories. I have also listed my very own tenor ‘ukulele you see me using in class. That is more of an investment. If you’re interested in a Kamaka, just reach out to me ;)

Kamaka ‘Ukulele

Two people, a woman with dark hair and a man with short gray hair, stand in front of a display of ukuleles on a wooden pegboard. The woman holds a ukulele, and both are smiling at the camera. Behind them, there is a table with more ukuleles and a black banner with white text that says 'UKULELE'.

When you’re ready to purchase a Kamaka ‘ukulele, feel free to contact me. They have a great starter called the Concert Kukui which runs for under $1000.00. Kamaka is the best of the best in the entire world!
